Proposed budget

GBP 5,000

Description

Thrive-Fit Women is a free, resident-led fitness and wellbeing programme for women in Custom House. I have been running weekly sessions since October 2024, creating a safe and supportive space where local women can exercise, build confidence, and connect with each other. With People Powered Places funding, I want to expand the project into a structured 8-week programme running twice a week. Sessions will include strength, cardio, and mobility training, along with guest workshops on nutrition and wellbeing.


We’ll kick things off with a community launch event in the park, and finish with a big celebration featuring a DJ, photographer, and certificates to recognise participants’ achievements. The project will provide equipment, cover guest speakers, and promote healthier living for women and their families. By voting for Thrive-Fit Women, you’ll be helping more women in Custom House get active, improve their wellbeing, and feel stronger together.

Eva’s Classes are truly amazing and i’ve seen impeccable results. I started off the year really shy and not confident in my body. Since going Eva’s classes and making new friends with other ladies’ my confidence has improved and my body has transformed enormously!!!! Would really recommend any ladies in Newham to attend her classss - i’ve made some friends for life in that class

Eva’s classes have been amazing at Custom Made. It has not only a great place to exercise but also to know those in the community!

I joined Thrive-Fit Women to get fit — but I’ve gained so much more: friendship, confidence, and community.

I love going to Eva’s class. She is kind but firm and gets us all exercising at a level that stretches us. She is generous and supportive with her energy and this is a great programme for Newham residents.

Eva has been delivering her fitness classes at Custom Made, 25 Freemasons Road, on weekly basis since October 2024. Her infectious energy, positive attitude and her genuine desire to help local women achieve their desired goals in fitness have been a massive positive addition to Custom Made's community programme for local people! This funding will truly help Eva in taking her fitness programme to the next level in achieving her goals to improve the general health and wellbeing of local women.
